My girlfriend and I both have broadband routers (she just got hers) and now when I try to login to her ftp I get a Socket error = #10061 message and it won't let me in.... I can login in from any other computer that isn't going through my router though.

She has port 9040 opened for her ftp, but do I need to open a port on my router? I wouldn't think so, but then again I haven't been able to fix this yet either...

Here is hte complete login info I get through Cuteftp:

STATUS:> Connected. Authenticating...
COMMAND:> USER *******
331 User name okay, need password.
COMMAND:> PASS *****
230 User logged in, proceed.
STATUS:> Login successful.
COMMAND:> PWD
257 "/d:/" is current directory.

STATUS:> This site can resume broken downloads.
COMMAND:> TYPE A
200 Type set to A.
COMMAND:> REST 0
350 Restarting at 0 - send STORE or RETRIEVE to initiate transfer.
COMMAND:> PASV
227 Entering Passive Mode (192,168,2,100,9,18) (Doesn't matter if Passive mode or not)
COMMAND:> LIST
STATUS:> Connecting ftp data socket 192.168.2.100:2322...
ERROR:> Can't connect to remote server. Socket error = #10061.
ERROR:> Failed to establish data socket.


Any ideas guys?

Yep, everything works on her end. But, I'm not able to gain access to her ftp (whereas before when she used Zone Alarm I could). The login and pass are correct as you can see above, but the I get the #10061 socket error.

So to sum up again, we both have broadband routers. I cannot access my girlfriends ftp because it gives me a 10061 error through cuteftp.

ANy ideas?

I have a Linksys Router, and had initial problems running an ftp server through it. You have to have a server that can assign your router's WAN IP to passive mode, and then restrict the ports the server uses during passive mode. Forward those ports on the Linksys. Also don't use DHCP on the router. Serv-U and Bulletproof are two programs that have this ability.
